Course Description

Old Course

Jagorawi Golf & Country Club (JG&CC) is Indonesia's premier golf club. It offers 45 holes of championship golf.Located in the Cikeas river valley, the JG&CC more than typifies the tropical terrain and natural beauty of the vast archipelago that is called Indonesia.Designed by Thomson & Wolveridge, the Old Course was opened in 1979 making JG&CC one of the country's pioneering golf clubs. The total length of 6,023 meters belies its true challenge.Accuracy, precise club selection and smart course management are essential ingredients to taming this unforgiving layout.Wayward tee shots are usually punished hard and hole #1, handicap stroke 1, is no exception. This 509 meter par 5 must rank as one of the finest and most spectacular opening holes in the world.As the JG&CC is strictly a membership course, visitors may play the Old Course only when accompanied by a member. Do not pass up an opportunity to play this "legend". Bring extra balls and enjoy it!

New Course

The New Course too was designed by Thomson & Wolveridge. It opened in 1991 and quickly earned a reputation as one of the most demanding tests of golf in the Asia Pacific Region. In 1997 it was the host venue for the Indonesian Open and saw a winner in Aussie golfer Craig Perry.The New Course measures 6,322 meters. Although the fairways appear much wider than the Old Course, they often become restricted through the landing zones with well placed, deep faced fairway bunkers waiting to capture the next victim.The 11th hole is one of the most dramatic par 3 holes found anywhere. From the back tee, playing its entire length over the winding Cikeas River to a narrow green that is surrounded by the same river at three sides; this hole can be a score breaker.Holes #11, #12 and #13 are among the toughest on the course and make up for JG&CC's own "Amen Corner".Guests are only allowed to play the New Course when accompanied by a member.

Z-Nine

The Z-nine was completed in late 1997.It winds through a most beautiful stretch of the Cikeas River Valley.It was designed by Jagorawi's dynamic owner Zakir and his close friend, American course designer Max Wexler. Combined with the Old- and New Course, the Z-Nine makes Jagorawi the only club in Indonesia that offers 45 holes of Championship Golf.Six of the nine holes are bisected by the Cikeas River, while the tight playing areas and well-placed hazards require precision and a strong mental game. By using different tee boxes the designers have created a course that suits the most demanding top golfer as well as those with higher handicaps.The "sweeping" par 5 hole #4 is pretty narrow and ends on a green that is surrounded by ponds. The par 5 hole #8 is sometimes reachable-in-two and plays atop a ridge that provides plenty of challenge as well as an outstanding panoramic bird's eye view of the tropical Cikeas River valley and much of the Jagorawi property.
